MBL2 and Disseminated intravascular coagulation: Larsen et al. (10) found that mannose-binding lectin (MBL)-associated serine protease-1 (MASP-1), an important component of the lectin pathway, is associated with impaired coagulation in septic shock patients and that it can serve as a promising candidate biomarker for sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation.
